Anti-Israel Columbia grads wear zip ties, rip diplomas on stage during commencement

Defiant Columbia University graduates wore zip-tie handcuffs, brandished pro-Palestinian signs and even went as far as tearing up a diploma on stage during the Ivy League’s first commencement ceremonies last week.

The protesting students were caught on camera storming across the platform on Friday to accept their degrees during ceremonies that were significantly pared after weeks of violent anti-Israel demonstrations on campus.

In one of the most belligerent displays, Tarsis Salome, a Columbia social work graduate, charged forward with her zip-tied hands above her head as those in the audience cheered her on.

This is going to haunt these idiots for the rest of their lives.

That is a good thing.

I read a poster that makes a lot of sense:

If your degree can’t earn you enough income
to pay off that debt, what makes you think
it’s worth enough to make your neighbor pay
it off?

I couldn’t agree more...

It would be a real cry-out if they ask for new diplomas and the university wouldn’t give that to them and when they go interview for a job their prospective employer said no diploma no job.

They really did cheer her.

The “get woke, go broke”-type comments on this thread are such a cope.

Around 2015 the elite campuses went ultra-woke, and in 2020 they took over institutional and corporate America.

And this performative Palestinianism is the future of institutional America, as well.

It’s all women! I didn’t see one single guy graduating. And lots of middle eastern names.

Has Columbia turned into a women’s college?

What a wussified cess pool our colleges have become!

Columbia has been invaded. And by foreign female invaders, getting
worthless degrees.

I hope these idiots don’t find gainful employment anytime soon. Let them enjoy the fruits of their current labors.

Not the way it works. People order copies of their diploma all the time. One for work, one for home. Columbia is going to bow and scrape to all these “activists”.

These young people, whose parents spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to ‘educate’ them at a supposedly superior American university, emerged with skulls full of Marxist mush and hell-bent on chaos. Way to go, Columbia!

All over the US females have outnumbered males in colleges.
Old: “Maybe men have better ways to earn good income without college.”—I heard a guest speaker say at the university where I worked. 2000s.

Later:

“In 2021, the census estimated that 21.1 million Americans were enrolled in college, according to the annual American Community Survey. About 12 million of them people were female, and about 9.2 million were male. That’s a difference of about 2.6 million, or a 56%-to-44% split.” NBC News. Aug 20, 2023

New: “Why Men Aren’t Working”

“Today, 7.2 million men have essentially dropped out of the workforce.”

EVERY POSSIBLE ITEM THAT EMPLOYERS CAN USE TO REFUSE THEM ANY LEVEL OF EMPLOYMENT

THEY DO NOT HAVE TO.

Biden is excusing their loans.

MAMA & PAPA still have a basement to live in.
